What the texts say
In the Vishnu Purana, Vishnu assumes the form of Kalki at the end of the Kali Yuga, and the Lord sets the wicked back upon the path of righteousness. Vishnu Purana 3.2.59 The Skanda Purana says the Lord Kalki will arise in the tenth birth, or incarnation. Skanda Purana 5.3.151.27 The Bhagavata Purana tells that he will appear in the home of Vishnuyashas, the most eminent brahmin of Shambhala village. Bhagavatam 12.2.18 In the same Purana, Kalki will mount his swift horse Devadatta and, sword in hand, travel over the earth, killing by the millions the thieves who have dared dress as kings. Bhagavatam 12.2.19 Once he has appeared as the maintainer of religion, the Bhagavata Purana says, Satya-yuga will begin, and human society will bring forth children in the mode of goodness. Bhagavatam 12.2.23

为除去因恰努罗、甘萨及诸阿修罗之傲慢而生的恐惧,并赐予惊惶诸天以无畏,神圣者于每一劫期(yuga)化为婆苏提婆;于每一劫(kalpa)示现奇妙诸相。又复又复,那大士以“迦尔吉”(Kalki)之名,现多种化身,行于恢复既定的四姓(varṇa)秩序。

礼敬迦尔吉(Kalkin)——其足;礼敬赫利希凯沙(Hṛṣīkeśa)——其腰;礼敬“摧灭弥勒叉(mleccha)者”;亦复礼敬那以宇宙为形之主的腹部。
